Another wonderful ideas in bathroom ceiling painting in Longrove use is copper, silver or gold leaf attached to the ceiling. It is a bit time consuming and a little expensive, but amazing. After installing it I often use dark brown or black just rubbed into small areas to age it. When you do this technique it brings down the shine and makes it look like it has been there forever.
The painted objects are only visible when the lights are out; this is a great technique for kid’s rooms. After it has been up awhile it is really fun to add something new and have them look for the new addition, they are very excited to go to bed with the lights out.
If you are very ambitious you can create an entire mural on the ceiling. Mine looked like you were looking up through an old partially destroyed roof with the blue sky and clouds peeking through. After many hours and a very stiff neck it was done and gave me great pleasure every time I went in there.
One easy painting option is blue sky and white puffy clouds. Always use a paint extender that can be found in all paint and hardware stores. It will extend the drying time and make the paint look transparent.
For any technique practice it on a board. Work out the trouble areas in a comfortable environment before you start doing them balancing on a ladder.
